Terrible, looks like retarded flared nostrils paired with the worst body lines in the last 60 years.

Friend of mine described it nicely

"it's like an over compensating RX7 that did too much juice and is all ****ed up"

That's what I meant to say. Initial buy in is now much cheaper.

Since cost of maintainence is the same, expect the quality of vehicles to decline as maintainece gets put off. How many guys here have been driving with the cel light on for a few months...or maybe the airbag light or vdc/abs lights for a while? How about other general maintainence?

As cars get cheaper, they also tend to get more ratty.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to me, that car looks pretty damn sweet...

I've ridden in my friends corvette often and this is true. Vette owners love to wave....except for the snotty couple in brand new vetoes. But the guys in older vettes all wave on cue.


Jeeps guys love to wave too, as well as mustang owners (except 16 year olds in v6s).

The last time I waved to a younger guy in a g35 coupe he stared me down like I f'ed his mom

That is VERY true.

I'm so glad mine was single-owner with a full service record.

Reminds me of that mid 90's commercial where the black ws6 pulls up behind the red Ferrari and eats it. Always loved the looks of that hood.


I'd drive an LSx car if I had a mullet

Mine too. Guy was in his 60's


Whoever gets my car down the road will get a well maintained car. I have a spreadsheet listing maintainenece as well as every single receipt for anything I have bought. If anything...I tend to over maintain. As a result, I tend to get higher average price for my cars when I sell.

I thought of the same thing, Janik probably did too (if he's old enough to remember those commercials )

Gotta tell you, it was hard owning Trans-Ams for years and never having a mullet

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I have to agree as well. The only thing I didn't like about those cars was that they drove like azz. Nose is way too long and the front feels narrow and squirrely behind the wheel.

Take it from me... as OCD as you are... you wouldn't survive the ride. You would have an aneurysm from all the vibrations/rattles/etc

Corvette guys oftentimes forget what they look like. I've gotten the nod from several old Vette guys in my NSX passing oncoming because they thought it was a C5.
